Stretching cold muscles before exercising. Warm your muscles prior to stretching by jogging.

Using improper form while exercising. Using improper form, exercise can be ineffective, even harmful.

Wearing improper footwear. The right kind of athletic footwear is your best investment against knee, ankle and foot injuries.
